    Ring the DWP and ask for a state pension forecast,

    You only need 30 years contributions to claim a full state pension so ask them how many you have.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    just to clarify

    NI is not deductable on any pension

    however, if you do not have 30 years of NI contributions (or equivalent) it may be worthwhile make voluntary payments
